Please do not delete this, or you can link me to a recent similar post . I would like to ask if its possible to retake 'O' Levels as a Sec4E student if i was a Sec5NA student . I have some friends who could retake under Sec4E even though they were from Sec5NA . But as for me my teacher says i have to change class to Sec5NA and i am feeling very frustrated now as i have just started to know the students of my new school and class for a month or two, and now i'm being told i have to change class. i feel very unjustified by their actions....so please help me ! Thank you very much, everyone!!

The placement can be affected by

1) Subject combination
2) The academic ability of the class

I suggest you to have a talk with the principle or form teacher about this issue. The reason that you've given seems strong enough for you to remain in the previous class, but do you results prove that you are suitable in 4E? Subject combination wise, do you generally have the same subject combination as your peers?

The reason why the school might place you in a 5N class because your academic results. 5N go by a slower pace and is in the final lap of the O level. So the pace will make you absorb better...

Thank you very much, Sir! So what you are trying to say that it is possible for a Sec5NA student to repeat in a Sec4E class ? Because the subject combination of mine are the same as my current class except i do not take F/N or DNT . I think they are not letting me stay in 4E was because of my results . But my results are considered ok already as i passed everything except for my Mathematics which i really feel could be improved with more practice, and i even topped my class for my Combined Science with a B4 as my class now is quite weak in their studies . So i feel that i should be able to maintain the same pace or even better than them .
